New School of Orlando, Inc. v. McSween, Civil No. 2007-CA-014312-O (Fla. Cir. Ct., Orange County filed Oct. 28, 2007).

Status: Settled

A private school sued the mother of a former student over comments criticizing the school that the mother posted on her AOL Hometown web site (apparently hometown.aol.com/sayno2newschool/, no longer operational). After receiving a letter threatening legal action over the comments, Sonjia McSween moved her comments to a new site (parentalmusings.blogspot.com/), then another (www.myspace.com/parentalmusings). In February 2008, the parties apparently reached a settlement.
